Who will plant the bamboo mother plants?
Planting is typically the responsibility of the farmer. However, for those who prefer a professional service, planting can be arranged through specialized companies. For pricing and to connect with the nearest planting partner, please contact a representative.
What work needs to be done before planting?
The first step in preparing the soil is to perform a soil test. This will let us know if additional nutrients need to be added before planting to ensure the best possible results. Disking the soil will aid in keeping it soft to ease the expansion of the rhizomes and shorten the needed time before maturity is reached. We suggest that the plantation be disked using a 10” to 16” disc two or three times to prepare the soil properly. At this time, additional nutrients can be added in the form or granular fertilizer to make up for any natural deficiencies. Irrigation and ground cover is then installed prior to scheduling plant delivery.
What do young plants need after being planted?
Soon after planting, proper mulching is essential, preferably using straw and leaves. This helps keep the soil soft and moist, protects the root system and rhizomes from temperature fluctuations, and significantly enhances plant development. Adequate watering should be tailored to the soil type to maintain consistent moisture levels without overwatering. Additionally, fertilization of the entire plantation should be conducted every six months, following the guidelines and recommendations from the field support team.
